11 Sept	Heritage Open Day – Anyone who wishes to have a walk in the grounds of Stormont and avail of the European Heritage Weekend's tour of Stormont Castle should meet in the main car park (beside the Parliament Building) at 10 am. Depending on availability of tours (they're ongoing from 10 am until 4 pm) some members can take themselves for a walk around the impressive grounds before or after the tour. It is possible also to visit Campbell College on that day - it's only a short walk away. However, it's only open until 1 pm so it might be more practical to go there first.
